LK-99 Is NOT a Superconductor?

Is LK-99 a room-temperature superconductor? Increasingly, it looks doubtful...

It's ceramic. Good luck making wire with it.

I think even if it needs 100 kelvin its a great achievement, and it reveals a new way for materials to be semiconductors or even superconductors. So maybe following this path they might find very interesting materials.

LK99 is a meaningful discovery no matter what anyone says.

[InquirerAshen]

Its a ceramic.... whens the last time you heard about wires made of ceramic material? And even if it wasn't superconductors have different current carrying capabilities depending on temperature and thickness. There are no free lunches

LK99 is not a super conductor.
It is a compound of Lead Phosphorus and Oxygen which shows approx Zero resistance in room temperature.
It is not considered as a Superconductor bcz it does not show Cooper pairs which is an important property of superconductor and also this material showed different properties and graphs when tested in different conditions.
Kudos to that Indian scientist –: Prashant Jain

People really jumped the gun when theres no consensus whatsoever saying its not a superconductor while different teams have had promising results in the lab

[mrspankytank]

Maybe it’s just a step closer. Need them steps to eventually get to where we’re going😉

[driftliketokyoftw]

I still see it as a win because at the very least, it gives us of hope that this is possible.

[vitaminc]

I researched so much about the Indian result but got nothing on internet, how you got that 😅?

[tullochgorum]

Even in the unlikely case that it's true, it's not revolutionary. It's a ceramic, which has very limited uses. The list of applications given here is objectively wrong.

Gravity causes an inherited path deformation for energy transfare. However, earth's G already proven to be beat with the right medium. Which means superconductivity have an avaiable marginal error. What you need is, increase that marginal error so it generates super conductivity even in a less favorable medium.

Just from the top of my head, a beam of light supposed to morf local space, i bet that could change the medium to be more conduct. While it wont be feasable in long distances, in short bursts (computing and fabrication) it is okay as the room and energy is avaiable in those areas.

Maybe a light array lattice made from optic fiber could do long range.

세상에 모든친구와 과학자 에게 말한다.
LK-99은 존제 하며 그기술은 아직 오픈 하기 이른 시간이다.
모두가 환호성과 기뿜에 눈물을 닦을 준비을 하여하.
의심과 부정 은 친구의 건강만 해필뿐이다.
우리는 오래전부터 동맹이였고 어깨동무 할수 있는 친구이자 나라이다.
서로 존중해주고 같이 기쁨을 나누가.
LK-99은 확실이 존제 한다.

This is about what I expected, still it's a little disappointing. Although, I wonder if environmental factors could be the reason for different results? Probably not.

[Deltagravitics]

Room temp diamagetism?....thats (superstate) not this...
You can run LK-99 through high density electrolysis.

For conductivity.
Induct it with electrolysis! Density increase is tangent to temperature. Temperature is tangent to resistance

[tye]

So many professors debunked this, from Peking University, UIUC, U of Manchester, Princeton… It’s fake

[blackred]

How does it power levitating trains, quantum computing etc

[noway]

Good news for ceramic lovers😊 Another step in the hype world of superconductors, its always its true? But😊

[colourwolfkean]

the video show it shaking, superconducter dont shake like that near magnetic field, it more like just a peace of magnetic metal try to pull align toward magnetic flux

[kayakMike]

I am making a bunch of YBCO superconductor, just to see how much current they can hold.

[factsforlifeO]

Hope everyone knows that LeeKim-99 wasn't in a pure form plus the paper wasn't 100% true the team said
